Olympic Construction were proud and privileged to be instructed to undertake the restoration works on the chimneystack of Delph Lodge, Delph Oldham, the property is a prestigious private residence recently purchased by our client who wanted to restore the original chimneys into working order, as part of an ongoing restoration project using traditional construction methods and materials.

Delph lodge forms one of two properties located at the foot of Saddleworth moor, believed to have been constructed in the early 1900, which was later extended to the right hand elevation, the property became a grade II listed building on the 3rd July 1986 (English Heritage Building ID: 212088).

The restoration works to the chimney structure being required to repair the damage as a result of neglect, long term water damage and lack of inappropriate and unsympathetic maintenance of the property by past untrained contractors.
